Which is better, SpeedyIndex or IndexMeNow?

It depends on the job. SpeedyIndex is the budget pick for bulk backlink indexing (roughly $0.03 to $0.10 per indexed link as of mid 2026, and you only pay for links that actually get indexed). IndexMeNow charges a premium ($0.47 to $0.98 per URL) and returns credits for URLs not indexed within 10 days. If the URLs are on your own sites, neither model is the natural fit: IndexMachine submits through the official Search Console and Bing APIs for $12.50 paid once.

Is SpeedyIndex worth it in 2026?

For bulk backlink indexing on a budget, it is the cheaper of the two, and tokens for unindexed links come back to your balance after 7 days. The risk is the method: it is undisclosed, and it already stopped working once. SpeedyIndex went dark in November 2025 after a Google-side change, relaunched in early 2026 as pay-per-result only, and its current effective prices are several times higher than the $30 per 5,000 links it advertised before the shutdown.

Is IndexMeNow worth it?

It is the premium option. The Starter pack is $59 for 60 credits ($0.98 per URL), and the rate only drops to $0.47 per URL at the $1,999 Platinum pack (4,250 credits). IndexMeNow itself says about 80% of pages get indexed within 72 hours, and credits for URLs not indexed within 10 days go back to your credit balance. It makes the most sense for small batches of high-value URLs, not large volumes.

Is there a cheaper alternative to SpeedyIndex and IndexMeNow?

For your own sites, yes. IndexMachine starts at $12.50 paid once (1 site, 1,000 pages) with unlimited submissions through the official Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools APIs, plus ChatGPT crawler pings, daily autopilot, and 404 alerts. For third-party backlinks, SpeedyIndex is already the budget pick of the two, because IndexMachine does not index URLs you do not own.

Can IndexMachine index backlinks like SpeedyIndex and IndexMeNow?

No. IndexMachine only submits URLs on sites you have verified in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, using your own OAuth credentials. That is what keeps it white-hat and stable, but it also means backlink indexing on third-party domains is out of scope. Use IndexMachine for your own sites, and a per-URL service for backlinks you do not control.

SpeedyIndex vs IndexMeNow (2026): Pricing and Which to Pick

Short answer: SpeedyIndex is the budget option for bulk backlink indexing, at roughly $0.03 to $0.10 per indexed link as of mid 2026. IndexMeNow is the premium credit service at $0.47 to $0.98 per URL. Both run on undisclosed methods and neither needs Search Console access.
If the pages you need indexed are on your own sites, there is a third option: IndexMachine submits through the official Search Console and Bing APIs for $12.50 once.

Quick Verdict

Choose SpeedyIndex if

You bulk-index backlinks and want the lowest per-link cost of the two (about $0.03 to $0.10 per indexed link as of mid 2026).
You like paying only for results: tokens for links that stay unindexed come back to your balance after 7 days.
You accept the risk of an undisclosed method that already went dark once, in late 2025.

Choose IndexMeNow if

You index smaller batches of high-value URLs and the $0.47 to $0.98 per-URL premium is acceptable.

You value its safety valve: credits for URLs not indexed within 10 days go back to your credit balance.

Consider IndexMachine if

The URLs you need indexed are on your own sites, not third-party backlinks.

SpeedyIndex vs IndexMeNow Pricing (2026)

SpeedyIndex sells tokens. As of mid 2026, 1 indexed link costs 100 tokens, packages run from $5 for 5,000 tokens to $500 for 1,500,000 tokens (roughly $0.03 to $0.10 per indexed link), tokens never expire, and tokens for links that stay unindexed come back to your balance after 7 days. New accounts get 100 free tokens, about one indexed link. Note that this is several times more expensive than the $30 per 5,000 links SpeedyIndex advertised before its late-2025 shutdown.

IndexMeNow sells credits, one credit per URL. The Starter pack is $59 for 60 credits ($0.98 per URL), 2,000 URLs costs $999, and the rate only drops to $0.47 per URL at the $1,999 Platinum pack (4,250 credits). Credits for URLs not indexed within 10 days go back to your credit balance, not your wallet.

What you pay	SpeedyIndex	IndexMeNow	IndexMachine
Entry price	$5 token pack (as of mid 2026)	$59 for 60 credits	$12.50 once, yours forever
Cost for 2,000 URLs	Roughly $60 to $200 at its per-link rates	$999	Covered by one flat plan
6,000 URLs over a year	Roughly $180 to $600	$2,820+ even at the best $0.47 rate	Still one flat payment
Lifetime plan	Not offered (tokens never expire, though)	Not offered	Yes: $12.50, $50, or $84.50

IndexMachine's lifetime tiers are $12.50 (1 site, 1,000 pages), $50 (5 sites), and $84.50 (10 sites, 10,000 pages each), with $9.50/month and $95/year subscriptions if you prefer. Details on the IndexMachine pricing page. The honest caveat: those plans cover your own verified sites only. If your job is indexing backlinks on domains you do not control, the per-URL services above exist for a reason.

How SpeedyIndex Works

SpeedyIndex describes its method as sending signals to the real Google infrastructure so a mobile Googlebot crawls your URLs. It works for any URL on any site, needs no Search Console access, and does not disclose the exact trigger. The workflow is batch-oriented: upload a .txt list of URLs, unindexed links get re-sent around day 6, and the final report lands by day 11.

On results, the most concrete number comes from SpeedyIndex itself: its September 2025 benchmark reported the first Googlebot visit in about 28 to 29 minutes and 5 of 10 test links indexed by the end of the test. That benchmark also predates its biggest problem: in November 2025 the service announced a suspension, went dark, and turned off its Telegram support channels. By January 2026 the BlackHatWorld community had largely written it off. It relaunched in early 2026, and per a May 2026 competitor roundup it dropped pay-per-submit in March 2026 and now runs pay-per-result only, at higher effective prices.

The upside today is price and the pay-for-results model. The downside is that the mechanism is a black box that has already broken once. Full history and current pricing in our SpeedyIndex review.

How IndexMeNow Works

IndexMeNow sells credits: one credit indexes one URL, no Search Console access required. It says it uses a combo of 3 indexation methods without disclosing what they are, though it does state it does not publish on social networks or spam public sites and forums. By its own claim, about 80% of pages get indexed within 72 hours.

The pricing is premium: $59 for 60 credits at entry ($0.98 per URL), down to $0.47 per URL only at the $1,999 Platinum pack. The offset is the credit-back policy: URLs not indexed within 10 days get their credits returned to your balance, so failed submissions are not fully sunk cost (the credits stay inside the service, not back in your wallet).

Everything is manual: no autopilot, no sitemap monitoring, no 404 alerts, and no Bing or LLM coverage. It is a submission counter, not a monitoring system. More detail in our IndexMeNow review.

Where IndexMachine Fits

IndexMachine is not a third contestant in the backlink-indexing race, and it will not index URLs you do not own. It solves a different problem: getting and keeping your own sites indexed. You connect your Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools with your own OAuth credentials, and it submits through the official APIs, monitors your sitemap daily, re-submits pages that drop out, pings ChatGPT and other LLM crawlers, and alerts you on 404s.

Because the method is the documented, supported one, there is no loophole to lose. That matters in a category where SpeedyIndex already went dark once and both services keep their actual mechanisms undisclosed.

Pricing is flat instead of metered: $12.50 lifetime for 1 site (1,000 pages), $50 for 5 sites, $84.50 for 10 sites with 10,000 pages each, or $9.50/month. Publish 200 pages tomorrow and re-submit them all next week; nothing counts down. All tiers are on the pricing page.

The Honest Verdict

SpeedyIndex and IndexMeNow compete for the same job: forcing URLs you cannot submit through Search Console (usually backlinks) into Google's index. On price, SpeedyIndex wins clearly, at roughly $0.03 to $0.10 per indexed link against IndexMeNow's $0.47 to $0.98 per URL. On stability, the record favors IndexMeNow: SpeedyIndex went dark in late 2025 when Google closed whatever it depended on, and came back in a more expensive shape.

So the choice between the two is volume and risk tolerance. Big batches, budget priority, comfortable with a method that has failed before: SpeedyIndex. Smaller batches of URLs that matter, willing to pay a premium for a stated 80%-in-72-hours target and a 10-day credit-back policy: IndexMeNow.

And if you landed here trying to index your own site, step off this treadmill entirely. Paying per URL for your own pages makes little sense when the official APIs exist. IndexMachine automates them for $12.50 paid once.

Indexing Your Own Site? Pay Once, Not Per URL

SpeedyIndex and IndexMeNow charge per URL for backlink jobs. For your own sites, IndexMachine runs the official Google and Bing APIs on autopilot from $12.50 lifetime.
